Adoptive Parenting is not for the faint-of-heart.

I provide education, inspiration, and transformation for adoptive parents of challenging children, by integrating trauma-informed parent coaching and Deep Stress Transformation.

Certified Trainer through the Beyond Consequences Institute.

I am passionate about helping parents who are raising challenging children, by walking with them on their own path toward self-acceptance and healing.

In addition to training as an experiential psychotherapist, I am adoptive parent to my two amazing grandchildren, so I have been there, done that, and I GET it. So, if you are seeking Radical Acceptance...for yourself, for your child, for your family...for the world...I can help you. And, as a Certified Trainer with the Beyond Consequences Institute, I provide instruction and coaching in this love-based mode
